Tutera and Jurica were united in a civil union in Vermont September 2003. About three years ago, they decided to have children through a surrogate, but by the time the babies were born, the couple had split up. After the two broke it off earlier this year, they reached a temporary custody agreement to raise their 2-month-old twins, a boy named Cedric and a girl named Cielo, separately. Although the divorce isn’t final, the couple has decided Jurica will raise his biological child, Cedric, and Tutera will raise his biological child, Cielo.

Tutera appeared on "The View" last week and announced the couple’s decision.

"We transferred two embryos into the surrogate: One was biologically mine, my daughter Cielo. One was biologically his, his son," he explained.

Jurica said it was Tutera’s decision to split up the children and he’s still sad that this is the solution they've reached.

Jurica said the idea came up when the two separated and Tutera told him, “We know the boy is yours and the girl is mine. You can have your son and I can have my daughter, and we can move on with our lives.”

When asked about allegations Jurica has made in the past regarding Tutera’s involvement with prostitution and even sex addiction, Jurica simply said he has forgiven Tutera for their marriage problems.

“Everything that happened in the marriage, David knows,” Jurica told HLN. “He knows what ended the marriage, and it’s complex. I’ve forgiven him for everything he did during our marriage. I haven’t forgiven him for everything that’s happened with the kids.”

Going forward, Jurica said, he plans to explain everything to his son as soon as he's mature enough to understand the situation.

"I plan to tell Cedric everything. I think honesty is the only way to live," he said. "Obviously it will have to wait until he's old enough. It's a complex and complicated story, both how he came into this world and my past and my divorce, so it's a lot to talk about."

HLN reached out to David Tutera for a response, but he declined to comment.
